HUM!! Just finished such a hassle. Like 5 minutes ago!! Lasted couple
of weeks.
I suggest you look on this list under HP LaserJet 1000 at
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-February/thread.html.
It might give you some hint.
In any case, a good place to look for is http://www.linuxprinting.org
For me I had to download the driver from this site do the install and
all was fine.
